    My pink-blossomed, self fruitful Nanking tastes wonderful too.  I have 
started another from seed and am eagerly awaiting to see if cross pollination 
will produce more fruit.  I expect the seedling will bear fruit in 2014.

Dan,

Would you mind sharing which company you bought your Nanking Cherries from?
I got some from Fedco this spring, and although I prefer the red ones, the
birds do as well, so some white or pink ones might allow us to harvest more
of the fruit.
